Mary I of England


Mary I of England, also known as Mary Tudor, was born the 18th February, 1516 in
Greenwich and died the 17th November, 1558 in London. She was queen of England and Ireland since 1553 and the 4th monarch of the Tudor Dynasty.
Mary was remembered for removing religious reforms introduced by his father, Henry VIII and also because she gave back to England the Papal authority. In this process she condemned 300 religious people to die and because of this she received the name of Bloody Mary. She was married to Philip II and when he ascended to the Spanish throne, Mary became Queen Consort of Spain.

Father: Henry VIII

Husband: Philip II
Grandparents: Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabel I of Castile
Mary I of England was a sickly child with sight problems and headaches, but despite her health problems, she was precocious. She lived a quiet childhood in wich she received a great education from leading scholars of her times, including Luis Vives, Thomas More and Erasmus of Rotterdam. Mary soon became an adored princess by everyone especially by her father.
But soon the lack of male heir and when Henry VII fell in love with Anne Boleyn, shifted the foundations of England, of religion, of the royal house and Mary in the year 1526. Henry began a campaign of criticism against his wife, Catalina of Aragon, trying to find a good reason that give him the opportunity to divorce in order to marry Anne and try to have a male heir, but finally Anne and Henry didn't have a male heir. Some years later he married Juana Seymour and they had a male heir.

The hated Queen

Mary became queen the 1st October, 1553. In 1554 she was supported Cardinal Reginald Pole to restored the domain of the Church. In this times she condemned almost 300 people to die.
Her marriage to Philip II would not improve her popularity among the English people. Mary wanted a heir to ruin her sister Isabel and prevent another Protestant monarch to reign again in England. But apart from a sign of pregnancy that at the end it was just a stop of liquids, the new kings had no children. Although the power of Philip on the English throne was extremely limited, when Charles V resigned and the prince of the house of Austria became King of Spain as Philip II, his foreign policy against France put English foreign policy in difficult situations.
Some years later Mary I of England died in the Saint James Palace and years later her stepsister, Isabel.

THE MARIAN PERSECUTIONS


In today’s article we are going to focused on the Marian Persecutions during the 14th century.
Mary I of England became queen in 1553 as Queen of England and Ireland.She was surrounded by all kinds of tricks and suspicion due to her Catholic condition that caused serious cracks in a society that was becoming more and more Protestantism.
In these sense, she started to eliminate the religious reforms that were introduced by his father, and with the support of Cardinal Reginald Pole in 1554, she defeated the Papal Discipline in England. These were the times when the monarch received the name of “Bloody Mary”, as she commended around 300 people to die during the period that is known as the Marian Persecutions.
This same year, and having passed the traditional English History as a cruel and bloody queen, she married Philip II which served to warn even more the upset of the English people: this marriage was seen as the main alliance with the papacy in Rome because the monarchy was a loyal ally of the latter.As if this was not enough, Philip II had hopes of isolating France by this union with England, a fact not lost on the British: Then there was a rebellion in Kent incited by the French ambassador and that had as a leader Sir Thomas Wyatt, which was crushed and had the most direct consequence a harsh punishment, especially with the popular classes.
Four years later, in 1558, Mary died in London and her successor Isabel I, would restore all religious reforms that his father had done.
